By Telegraph—Press Association. Auckland, last night. Dr Roberts reports to-day that all tho patients at Okoroiro aro convalescent. Ho suspects arsenic. Inspector Cullen cannot yet say whether the inquest on Mrs Court will bo re-opened. SUFFERERS IN A FAIR WAY OF RECOVERY. [BY TELEOKATn. i-kess association.] Auckland, last night. Tho Auckland Herald’s correspondent at Okoroire telegraphs that all the sufferers aro in a fair way of recovery, and, as those taking meals in the hotel regularly for some days past have in no way suffered, it is certain that whatever may have been tho cause of tho trouble, all the danger is past. Tt, is now sta-ted as unlikelv that tho

it is now stated as unnueiy mat uio inquest will bo re-opened. A vordict was given, and, although the inquost was held by a Justice of tho Peace before the police were able to got to the scene, and was rather a summary affair altogether, the police at present see no way of re-opening the inquiry unless something very striking is brought to light. Every effort will, however, be made by tho police to got at the cause of poisoning, but they are doubtful if the analyst will materially help, as two days elapsed between tho poisoning and the time they collected the material for the analyst.
